Fiscal
shortcomings
prompted
the
California
bar
to
abandon
the
NCBE
find
a
cheaper
alternative
to
minting
lawyers.
Unfortunately,
they
got
so
swept
up
in
their
innovation
that
they
forgot
the
order
of
things
—
the
State
Supreme
court
denied
the
Bar’s
petition
to
change
exam
methods.
After
heading
back
to
the
drawing
board,
the
Bar
is
readying
supplies
for
a
redo.
ABA
Journal
has
coverage:
California’s
Committee
of
Bar
Examiners
approved
launching
a
propriety
bar
exam
to
be
created
by
Kaplan
Exam
Services
for
the
February
administration
and
will
submit
updated
petitions
for
the
California
Supreme
Court
to
reconsider.
The
clock
is
ticking!
The
new
exam
is
scheduled
to
happen
in
February.
If
they’d
like
to
actually
administer
the
test
then,
they’ll
need
to
mind
their
Ps
and
Qs.
Trusting
the
process
means
actually
doing
the
process!
